A friend in every season!

I love the snow when its all clean and fresh!

We have some on our mountains right now and we expect some here in the valleys hopefully tonight!

Yes, I might have lost my mind on that one!

But for now wishful dreaming....until I have to drive in it!

For this sweet guy I have used my newest image

A friend for every season

The background sky is done using Tim Holtz oxide inks, Nuvo drops and Dr. PH Martins ink in Copper plate gold.

Copics for snowman are BG72, BG70, W9, W7, W5, W3, R89, B16. 

Thank you so much for dropping by!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Black eyed Susans on a winter day

Good Morning!

Today I dusted off the silhouette Cameo cutter. Believe me it was dusty!

I wanted something fun and clean for this card.

Its just some random cutting file I purchase years ago from the silhouette store.  

The image is from my shop called Black Eyed Susan

I've merged the Png flower to create the corner border.

Then topped it with a die cut sentiment from

Momenta. It has been heat embossed in gold.

Copic Colors used are 

RV69, RV66, RV63

E79, E29, Y28.

Flecks of gold are dotted in using Dr. Ph. Martins

Iridescent Calligraphy colors in Copper Plate gold.

Thank you so much for dropping by!!

Have a wonderful day!

Using your head!

  

Just a little snowman humor and a good lesson on improvising and "using your head"

I couldn't help myself with this one!

I call this one "No Ball, No Problem!"

Copic colors used for this image are:

C1,C2,C3,C4,C5, R17, R56, R21, Y38, E87, E87, E25, BG01, BG000.

Background paper is from DCWV: The linen closet collection.

And I don't know if you noticed how the background is popped up? A lot of people use pop dots or double stick tape, Fun tip: kids craft foam and glue is amazing for the added dimension! I love it and it saves me tons of money! Give it a try :)

I hope you have and amazing day!

Marigold knock off

I was just at my moms house and was amazed by her garden full of Marigolds and Mums.

Just a bright burst of yellows, golds and oranges!

I don't have a digi of Marigolds (yet!) but this image called Carnation Flower worked out perfect!!

I've matted up this image using Creative Basic's dies by Rhea, This set is called

Baby Shoes

Today was a happy mail day! I got the whole set of Tim Holtz oxide inks!

So of course the minute I got home from work I was making an even bigger mess in my craft room!!

The background consist of Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber, Broken China and Iced Spruce

You just pretty much smear the ink all over and give it a sprits of water. I look forward to playing around with this stuff much more!

For this image I used Baby Shoes from my etsy shop. It seemed to coordinate perfectly with the background.

I used E43, E41 and E81 to give a warm color to match the craft paper background and hemp string. 

Perfect for either gender!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!! I hope you have an awesome rest of your day!
